97' Taco Front Clip Upgrade!!

I have a 1997 Taco Ext Cab that got into a little fender bender. The fenders, hood and grille need to be replaced. I want to put the 1999 4runner front end with cowl hood and composite headlights instead of sealed beams. Any help would be much appreciated.

I did the exact opposite of what you want. I put a 01-04 Taco front clip on my 98 Limited 4runner. Here's what you need.

Sport hood 99-02
Hood brackets 96-02
L/R fenders 96-02
Radiator support 96-02
Marker lamps 99-02
Headlights 99-02

Good luck!

Here's a picture of mine before and after. My before picture is what your after, but with the sport hood

Great job on your conversion. Someone who doesn't know Toyotas would never know that it did not come that way. Looks factory to me.

Thanks. I think they should of made it's that way as well. I always liked the face of the 01-04 tacos and disliked the prices of the double cab. Nothing like having a real truck with a bed. Just throw it's in and jump in your cab. In the future! I actually was looking for a fixer upper Taco to do the runner/taco swap. Like being different than other trucks.
